PHOENIX — When you give the people what they want …

Brooks had originally scheduled two dates, Oct. 23-24, for his return to the Valley, where he last played in 1996.

Tickets went on sale Friday. It didn’t take much time before those were sold out.

The tour added 7 p.m. shows Oct. 16-17, then doubled up performances for the original dates. Those shows will be at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
